#2This is interesting info, but...what paywall? The old URL https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ still goes directly to the puzzle (redirecting to nytimes.com).

The article also mentions this:
> February 10 was the last day Wordle was still available at its old site.
Which doesn't appear to be the case, it is still accessible at the powerlanguage address.

The future appears to be unevenly distributed. Some get redirected some don’t.

That URL currently redirects to the NYT version of the game, although it's possible that browsers may continue to cache and display a previously-requested version of the page contents (avoiding a redirect, at least while the cache remains valid).

No it isn't. The powerlanguage address [1] redirects to the New York Times's version [2].

#8The new Wordle has a shorter word list (down from about 12k to about 10k valid guess words).
EDIT: both lists are about the same length (12k); a small number of words were removed.

Picking at nits I know, but it is available via that site, not at it.
And via a cookie wall. From a quick scan of NYT's policy I got the impression clicking "reject" might only reject their direct tracking not that of 3rd parties, though I didn't have time to look in detail first time I was redirected, and I've not yet found the right combination of free time and inclination to nip back since, so I could have come to the wrong conclusion there.
